    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Also you have to try the 2-2-1 method and I will depending upon how many racks I'm cooking turn the final temp up to 240 for the last 1/2 hour (but be careful until you have tried and tested your MES)   I've had mine for 4 years now (40") and it works out great.

    Noob MES question about adding chips

    I have a 40" MES what kind of chips/pellet/saw dust work the best for smoke I'm generally smoking around the 220-240 temps  and approx how much should I put in every time I load it.  I'm finding  that it doesn't burn the wood to a dust or should it?  All I  get is small black burnt wood chips or...

    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    You have to try the 3-2-1 or a 3-2-2 method for the ribs and make sure your water tray is at least 1/2 way or more full.   I have a 40" and they come out perfect everytime.

    SMOKER CLEANING

    I'm a MES owner  and it has chrome racks.   Try spray coating the racks with a oven spray (oil) before you put the meat on it.   All I've had to do to clean the racks is use soapy hot water and a sponge and they come clean really easily.   Don't make it any harder than you have to.

    Instead of digging a firehole in my yard, could one use....

    You can get the camp chief propane stove (burners) single--double--or triple burners and then you don't have to worry about the wind unless there is gale force winds and then they do come with wind screens.  The height also saves the back and it's easy to get to your DO.   You can buy a hard...

    Cure #1

    Man I'm out of it what is cure #1 how do I get it,  do i need it?  I just smoked a bunch of elk jerky and had it marinate over night ---I did put some table salt along with everything else in the marinate but I don't know what the cure is.   The jerky looks and taste fine--I guess?

    First time smoker / making jerky (w/q-view!)

    I have a 40" unit and found that if I turn the heat up to 200-220 for the first hour or two  so I get a great smoke and then I turn it down to 140 and just let it go  I have all of my 4 racks full so I have more than 5 lbs of meat.   It generally takes 8-10 hours depending upon how you prefer...

    Smoke & woods

    Has anyone ever soaked your wood chips in liquid smoke to get more smoke or is that just overkill.

    Soak vs not (MES 40)

    Sorry I might be a little dumb but I'm just starting out.   I have a Masterbuilt 40" electric smoker and I'm hearing that you should not have to soak your wood chips.
